[The Bloated Shaganat]

Jon,

I can’t sleep. I haven’t been able to sleep in the last fifty-six hours, and I don’t see that changing any time soon. Not as long as Scott is around. Scott and his lies and his talk of faces, faces of people who weren’t dead three days ago, but are now.

IS the opening paragraph for a novel - period. Hooked? I am skewered and wriggling, skewered and wriggling...

If you can write first person like this you have an advantage - makes it stand out from the myriad of third person novels on the shelves.
